The Great White North meets the Beehive State
Besides the great outdoors, nice people, and an abundance of moose, what else do Utah and Canada have in common? A booming tech sector, growing energy needs, and a surplus of natural resources. With $1.7 billion in exports from Utah to Canada in 2023 (and $3.07 billion in imports to Utah), it should come as no surprise that it is Utah’s second-largest trading partner.
Ahead of our trade mission with Gov. Cox to Montréal and Toronto in April, we’re excited to welcome Consul General Sylvain Fabi back to Utah for a luncheon on March 5 for Utah businesses to learn more about how to tap into Canada’s economy.
This event was hosted in partnership with the Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity, the Salt Lake Chamber, and Bank of Montreal.
Consul General Sylvain Fabi
Sylvain Fabi joined the Consulate General of Canada in Denver in October 2020, where he oversees a team of 18 working within the Mountain West region — Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming — to strengthen trade and economic ties; enhance political, academic, and cultural links; and assist Canadians visiting or living in the region. His career with Global Affairs Canada has spanned various geographic and trade policy divisions and included assignments in Moscow, Havana, Santiago, Jamaica, and the Bahamas where he served as high commissioner for Canada.
Before becoming consul general in Denver, he was executive director of the U.S. Transboundary Affairs Division and Canada’s chief negotiator for the modernization of the Columbia River Treaty with the U.S.
